Question

I’ve made some facebook pages before, but I’m running in to a problem that I haven’t had before. Usually, when someone asks me to dev a facebook page for them, it’s linked to an account and all I have to do is add the developer app, make a few apps for the links on the side bar, then navigate to the apps I created and click ‘add to my page’.

For some reason, this person today gave me their log-in and their account isn’t really ‘real’ so-to-speak. I’m navigated to the page they created upon log-in and there is nothing else loaded, not even a search bar. I was able to add the developer app by navigating to Edit Info (search bar popped up). However I am unable to add any apps to this account. The ‘Add to My Page’ does not show up on any app pages I navigate to. Is this because the account doesn’t really exist? There is a “Create Your Profile” link up near the Settings/Logout buttons.

Am I thinking about this wrong? Is there another way for me to add apps/sidebar tabs with an account like this?

I was thinking of telling the person to register the account fully since “If you create a profile for your business, your account may be disabled for violating our Terms of Use.”

Let me know if any of you have any insight.

Thanks!

facebook changes as usual

try my “fix” @ http://admine.eu/addapp.html

here is part of the source and actually all you need:

window.open(
  "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=" +
  document.getElementById("appid").value +
  "&next=" +
  document.getElementById("appurl").value,

  "PageTab","width=1000,height=300"
)

+document.getElementById("appid") is the id of your app
+document.getElementById("appurl") is the canvas or tab URL of your app
